| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Nami | Nami's L1 bubble and W poke out-trade your melee range, keeping her ahead. |
| Level 2 | Nami | At L2 her Aqua Prison can interrupt your knockup, so she holds the spike. |
| Level 3 | Alistar | By L3 her immobility lets your guaranteed W-Q dominate, favouring you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Alistar | Through L4-5 you walk down her squishy poke and land engages, keeping you ahead. |
| Level 6 | Alistar | At L6 your R dive beats her disengage once bubble is down, favouring you. |
| First item | Alistar | First-item, your unconditional CC out-values her skillshot peel, keeping you ahead. |
| Two+ items | Alistar | Late, her lack of mobility lets your picks decide fights, so you stay favoured. |
L1-2 Nami out-trades you: Aqua Prison can bubble you out of your combo and Ebb and Flow pokes while healing her ADC, so soak damage with your bulk and wait for her Q to miss.
